Title: Digger driver demolishes ready to open travelodge.
Post by: eye30 on January 22, 2019, 09:47:59

A builder drove a digger through the doors of a Liverpool hotel before leaving a scene of chaos inside.

Onlookers shouted at the driver to stop as the machine mounted the steps of the Travelodge, sending debris flying as it crashed through the doors.

Footage shows a bystander banging on the side of the cab, but the driver ignores pleas to halt the rampage as the digger rams the reception desk and windows.

 the driver was involved in a pay dispute over £600 with contractors at the hotel, which is under construction.
